Also, Please Give us our Constitutional Rights Back.
The 4th Amendment would be a good start.
Please help the gulf people..I know the gulf is to much of a disaster to fix.

PS…This want list might grow,
and wait until you see my personal want list

Short and to the point, Neil. Well done.
I don’t care that the tax bill has no chance in the senate. It is YOUR job, Mr. President, to get it passed. I don’t care what you have to do or WHO you have to do it TO. Listen to the LBJ tapes. You’ll LEARN how to get things done. All you need to do is move 4 dirty republicans to your side. Those money stealing, bathroom tapping, bribe taking SOB’s should be easy to convince provided you have the right, shall we say, argument. If you need G. Gordon Liddy or Donald Segretti’s phone number, drop me a line. You can’t work WITH the GOP, so learn to work AROUND them.

I JUST LEARNED that the rich would get the same tax break on the first $250,000 dollars as well. So in other words you poor reader who make $60,000 would get the middle class tax break, and the millionaire would also get the middle class tax break on his first $250,000 dollars.
But that’s not good enough for them. They want tax cuts from what..$250,000 to infinity? They are currently paying 36% and the deficit (catfood) committee recommended they pay 28%!!! It should be noted when America’s economy was humming along the best, in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s the rich paid mostly 60 through 90% income tax! Read that sentence again, because it’s true.
This country is on the path like so many others. An extrordinarily wealthy and small elite, and the functional slaves. EVENTUALLY the populace will wake up to this fact and put their anger where it belongs. That’s Tea partiers, progressives, EVERYBODY, but the fantastically wealthy! It’s going to take a real fall to get to this stage, and we are so on the way ladies and gentleman. Is it class warfare? Your damn right, and it’s been waged on you, Mr. an Mrs. middle class for thirty years. It’s time for you to fight back, before your fucking Social Security and Medicare are gone. Looking forward to that kind of life?

Neil,
In your post here, you write “Have we no bottom line standards at all”?
THAT is to me the thing that voters need to look in the mirror and ask themselves? The easy, and chickenshit way out is to say “At least their better than Republicans” That way you get to pat yourself on the back, and still fit in with the everybody (Democrats) else. You know..safety in numbers.
Ya know what? Mussolini was probably better than Hitler too.
Either vote and support PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS ONLY (probably 10 percent of them) or get active in a third party.
So…I ask the readers on here. What are YOUR bottom line standards for what is acceptable in your politicians? Guess what that question entails? If your bottom line standard is not being met, DON’T VOTE FOR THAT POLITICIAN MORON!
Here’s some suggestions on how to think about that question.
1. If my politician will continue to put corporate interests ahead of the environment and the very survival of the species, should I vote for him/her?
2. If my politician votes to fund a war in which that nation is no threat to my own, should I vote for that politician?
3. If my politician would vote to let me eat garbage rather than tax the rich, should I vote for that politician?
I think Neil when these questions are truly and honestly considered we realize that the minimum standard for what is exceptable in the vast majority of our politicians is not being met, and that includes 90/95% of democrats.

I have to insist that I believe that we CAN’T vote against corporate interests. We can only rely on the benevolence of the said interests. It doesn’t look promising. The sobering truth is that Obama was our best hope for change and it is manifest that the powers behind change have been found wanting. Game, Set, Match…Done!
We middle class are the modern Judeans. We have only the future and prophecy to sustain us. There is no viable true vehicle to free us from our slavery. I going out to the desert sporting my soiled loincloth and pray for deliverance!

Hi Alien,
This speech gave me the chills, he was right on with everything.
He was telling the truth and it came from his heart.
I think this was one of the greatest speeches I have heard.
I can only hope that he was listened to.
